The lion did him no harm: and the fox crept off out of the way, and
ran to his hole, and there hid. He stayed in his hole a long while,
until he found he must go in search of food, and then he crept out.

Ella and May are the girls you see on this page. Ella is older than
May, and can read, but May cannot.
But Ella is kind, and will read to May a long time, if May will do as
she is bid, and sit still on her lap.
And Ella will show May how to read herself.

In a country called Holland, storks are very kindly treated, for so
many frogs live in the marshes there, that if the storks did not eat
them, the people would hardly know what to do. The storks are very
clever at catching the poor froggies; they snatch them up in their
long bills, and go flying off, with their great wings spread and their
long legs stretched out behind them, carrying off two or three at
once.

"Catching blackbirds?" said Willie.
